Super Grub2 Disk is a live CD that helps the user to boot into almost any operating system even if the system cannot boot into it by normal means. This allows a user to boot into an installed operating system if their GRUB installation has been overwritten, erased or otherwise corrupted. Super Grub2 Disk can detect installed operating systems and provide a boot menu which allows the user to boot into their desired operating system. Super Grub2 Disk is not an operating system itself, but a live boot loader which can be run from a CD or USB thumb drive.

I am so glad I came upon this utility. I have a test laptop and I am installing new distros all the time. I have used the Boot Repair disk in the past. But sometimes it didn't restore the boot loader even though it says the repair was successful. I tried Super Grub2 and it worked like a charm the first time.

A lifesaver in case of non-booting systems, helped many a client with it ... can't thank the developer enough, great work!

The reason for the 8 is that the option to find grub.cfg where "even if mbr damaged" returns nothing but the "not damaged" option finds what is available. For me the "mbr damaged" option should at least return the same data.

I couldn't get it to explain hd0 hd1 etc which as all linux stuff is sda sda1 sdbx needs some explanation.

Other than that it worked just as Distrowatch review said.

I have it on a "MultiSystem" USB with all the other toys like Gparted as 2 of my machines have no CD/DVD drive.
